Summary

Gok Wan joins Jo and Kat in the podcupboard ahead of the launch of his new one-man stage show, Naked & Baring All and, well, to get some practise in, basically. There is a LOT of soul baring, and a lot of laughs in this episode, as you'd expect from the man who got the nation to reappraise their body image and wardrobe, and feel better along the way.So hey, is it OK to be desperate for autumn/winter to get properly underway because your wardrobe is just so much better? Is it OK to embellish the truth? (Gok's story about how he became a makeup artist will have your jaw clanging on the floor.) And is it OK to have no idea where your life is going? We say yes to this, of course.Episode edited by Kat Brown with music by Martin Austwick. The November #PoweredByWomen issue of GLAMOUR, featuring Zendaya, is in stores now.
